I lasted as long as I could, but was having a vintage craving that had to be satisfied!! I have been having fun with the new grunge look and all the new Stampin' Up grunge product (love all of it!!); but, I still need my vintage fix to keep me going.

I saw this new design (can't remember where) and it has been sticking in my head for a couple of weeks. I knew I had to try it out, but didn't have directions -- just a mental picture in my head. So I started playing with it yesterday. I found out that there is a specific sequence to put it together, based on the fact I was using 2 different Framelits and embossing on the front of the card. Plus I wanted something a little different on the inside. I went with an extra page, using Stampin' Up Vellum Paper (the lighter paper weight works better than the Stampin' Up Vellum Card Stock) and embossing my image with Early Espresso Embossing Powder. Under the vellum I stamped my sentiments. I really like how it turned out and ended up making 3 cards after taking an hour getting the sequence figured out -- the other 2 cards were much faster to assemble/stamp. Here is what I ended up with:

The extra center page stamped with VersaMark and embossed with Early Espresso Embossing Powder. Sponged and added Early Espresso 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon. The Soho Subway DSP was attached to the back of the front to hide the Lattice Die edges that were adhered.

The sentiment added to the back page, using Once in a Million and Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Sets.

Your vintage card and monogrammed card holder turned out beautifully. I love the colors and the designer series paper you used to make the vintage card. I am currently drawn to the peaches and browns quite a bit.

REMEMBER:

"A handwritten note is like dining by candlelight instead of flicking on the lights, like making a gift instead of ordering a product, like taking a walk instead of driving. Handwritten notes will add a lot to your life. You can still use the telephone or the web for the daily chores of staying in touch, but for the words that matter: it's courteous, classy, caring, and civilized to pick up a pen." -- Source Unknown
